I'm not sure if you found an answer to this. I came across your post
when I was looking for an answer to the same thing. The best way I
found is to use flexmock (or other mock tool).

flexmock($stdout){|mock| mock.should_receive("puts").with("enter
something")}
flexmock($stdin){|mock| mock.should_receive("gets").and_return("junk")}
